4.4 About warning zones

Each Personal Node is configured with pre-defined warning zones centred on the user wearing the

device. The Personal Node annunciates an alarm (visible and audible) when a vehicle enters one of

the warning zones.

While the exact nature of the visible and audible alarms is configurable, this manual

describes a default configuration. The user experience may differ from this at different

sites so always check the configuration at your site.

Each zone defines a physical area around the wearer and has the default ranges shown in Figure 7

First 3 default zones below. The user at the centre of the zone represents your vehicle.

Note that:

• Up to four zones around a user can be configured: ALERT, ALARM, SLOW and STOP representing,

respectively, the lowest to highest risk due to an approaching vehicle.

• The default thresholds are set to 80, 60, 40 and 20 m respectively.

Zone size can be configured by a System Administrator on-site, depending on the range of proximity

detections required. Zones measure radially out from each Personal Node. See Zone sizes on page 69

for further information.

Zone sizes may differ per site.
